Woman mauled to death by dog she adopted 2 weeks before

How is it besides the point? Cows kill about 20 people a year that’s 240 over 12, so theses apperntly super dangerous dogs are only about as dangerous as a cow?

It is cute that people think they can control animals. Imagine if a domesticated cat was the size of a doberman..you would be dinner for your pretty kitty. So every time your little cat comes over and paws you that kitty is sizing you up.

When a pet tiger kills or attacks someone, it's not the nature of the Tiger, it's just a bad owner.

There are lots of mauled survivors... Sad part is most people who are attacked are not even the owners.

If you want to link dog attacks in general go ahead all I was able to find with a small amount of searching is that attacks have gone up in ontario where they have been banded for 10 years.

Fucking retards that haven't a clue about dogs calling for pit bulls to be banned. Dog was likely aggravated it's entire life and mistreated by humans, maybe even used in baiting/fighting. Maybe the previous owner wasn't equipped to train the dog and couldn't effectively communicate with it - we don't know. What other reason would it have been abandoned and put up for re-homing?
Poor thing has a shit life and reacts the only way it knows how. Surely there would have been signs that it was an aggressive dog at the shelter? Otherwise the owner has done something to provoke it.

Doesn't matter what the reasoning, but somehow somewhere a human was responsible for this. A scared, confused and lonely animal will now likely lose its life b/c justice. What do people do? Call for an entire breed to be exterminated, regardless of the countless shining examples of well trained and loving pit bulls of all shapes and sizes all over the world. Fuck off.

I guess you didn't know it was besides the point. The point is that we're not comparing cows to dogs, we're comparing different breeds of dogs. When almost 70% of all fatalities are committed by a single breed, it's foolish to say that breed isn't more dangerous than all the others. Because it bloody is and there's no going around it.

[ParanoiD84]

Perhaps the dog has been abused by other owners before, those dogs also need alot of training from being young. Love the breeds myself and never had any issues with them.

[tikcol]

I guess we should ban sled dogs in Canada too.

The point is that other breeds such as Malamutes have higher fatality percentages per capita.

We're talking about nearly 70% of all fatalities. Even admitting you're probably right on fatality percentage per capita, the pit bull isn't exactly a common dog.

[Daedius]

Ahh, good to see the media narrative of demonizing a "breed" (category acually dumbasses...), that was perfectly fine prior to the sensationalism of thugs owning them in the 80s ever since then, having their way with malleable minds so easily deceived with fabricated facts and skewed statistics.

Had thugs made use of Golden Retrievers back then you lot would be hating that breed today because media says they're evil. They already tried that with Huskies, Dobermans, German Sheperds, Blood Hounds, even Dachunds... Just the issue that the internet exists to keep refanning the idiocy.

its is NOT

a single

Breed

repeat after me.

it is NOT. a SINGLE. BREED. it is a collection of variety of breeds and mixes that have been assumed to bit pit bulls based on superficial appearance. identification of pits even by animal control is abysmally inaccurate (they get it right about 30% of the time). its even more inaccurate when done by regular law enforcement.

Your point is that law enforcement don't identify pit bulls correctly. I'm sure you saw that there was a mixed breed portion to that chart.

Everything is a big conspiracy. Cold hard facts aren't enough. Nope. It's everyone's fault but the fucking breed that was engineered on purpose for fighting in blood rings.

Your link doesn’t seem to give any actual data to back up its claims or even a time frame.

[ParanoiD84]

People can also be absolut monsters to dogs&animals, ive seen dogs sit in a corner just staring at the wall to afraid to make eye contact, or scream and piss them selves when someone tries to pet them. Disgusting human beings that does that to animals. A dogs owner is everything to them and if they abuse them it will fuck them up in the head as they have no idea what they have done wrong when people hit them or scream at them for no reason, those humans should be put to death.

[Shiny212]

Why don't the US get with the program already and ban this breed like every civilized nation?

and to all the semantic-drivellers getting caught up in the "not a single breed" nonsense. This doesn't happen in the countries that have banned dangerous breeds. Why do you think that is?

A statistically irrelevant danger is still irrelevant even if it’s higher then the next staysticly irrelevant danger.

And some of the left will get triggered by it.

I see what you did there...

do you understand the scale of that mixed breed and just how high the percentage of that is? moreover.. did you know that as many as dozen or so different breeds - gets identified as pit bulls, even though they are not?

last but not least, they were bred to fight ANIMALS. not people. ANIMALS. they were bred to have little to no aggression towards people and high degree of wanting to PLEASE people becasue they needed to be CONTROLLED in those fighting rings.

but hey, lets keep buying into racist fucking stereotypes and fear mongering, ignoring actual facts.

How is it irrelevant? We're comparing breeds not general danger. Seriously?

That's the most stupid thing I've heard all day. Congratulations.

actualy. it does. well dog bites and dog fatalities, still happen in so called civilized countries. numerous studies have shown that BSL is singularly ineffective as prevention against dog bites. you know what IS effective? educating prospective dog owners in proper dog care.

[Afrospinach]

Why would anyone get a pit bull is beyond me. They're ugly, aggressive and stupid. They have no redeeming qualities. In before "but it's the owner", no it's not, they are more prone to aggression period. Plenty of cases where good owners have been attacked by pit bulls.

We had a pit bull. He was both intelligent and good natured, best dog ever. So good he ruined dogs forever. Then he went batshit insane for no reason and started trying to cull the locals. Ruined dogs forever, again.

Tell that to all the people that get their faces eaten off disproportionately by pit bulls every year. I'm sure they'll get a pit bull plushy and sleep with it every day.

Stop ignoring facts while spewing emotional trash all over your posts. You're being dishonest with this forum and with yourself.
